Echocardiography is widely used for scanning cardiac patients to assess the health of their hearts. Despite its wide use, echocardiography suffers from a few limitations, including the limited field-of-view and longer scanning times. We propose a product using a collaborative robot arm to overcome these limitations. Our project allows scanning the heart from different locations […]

Construction sites are accident-prone sites and despite numerous efforts to reduce incidents, they continue to occur. Among others, fall accidents, in particular, account for the majority of these incidents, necessitating the implementation of proper management strategies. Traditional techniques for providing safety and preventing accidents are adequate and appropriate for improving safety, however, they are not […]

The purpose of this research is to further the understanding of how wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) interact with wetland meadows. This includes examining the environmental factors that contribute to the structure of these wetlands, determining what environmental factors influence bison selection of foraging sites within individual wetlands, and showing to what extent individual bison […]

Traditional stick-built can take weeks to reach the lockup stage of a single house and leaves the house exposed for long time, while a single home can be built by using modular construction within a few days, which is much quicker. In addition, using advanced technology to achieve automated and standardized operations is the target […]

Silver nanowires are 2-dimensional nanostructures of silver with diameter of less than 100 nm and length to diameter ratio of over 1000 times. They are excellent for inducing electrical conductivity into non-conductive material when dispersed at small quantities in those media. This is due to the intrinsic conductivity of silver (highest among elements) and elongated […]

In the last decades, Kaslo Sourdough Inc. has developed a sourdough propagation scheme for baking and pasta making. This sourdough differs fundamentally from other sourdoughs for which literature data is available in two aspects. First, the sourdough is used for production of bread and pasta. Only limited information is available on the impact of sourdough […]

A new Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) design, Twin Slice TRASE MRI, will be verified. The new MRI design is suitable for use in space, on the Moon and in the Canadian north where the operating environments are extremely rugged and demanding. The design will be verified by modifying a basic TRASE MRI ankle-size prototype that […]

The Town of Vermilion, in cooperation with Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) propose to take a student team of one Bachelor of Applied Information Systems Technology and one Bachelor of Business Administration to complete a total of four business process innovation projects. 1) Modernization of building security including electronic monitoring equipment and keyless entry […]

Sea ice is an integral part of the climate system. To obtain hemispheric-scale information about sea ice and the snow cover on top, satellite radar remote sensing is the method of choice. Microwave frequencies are ideally suited to observe sea ice/snow because they are independent of clouds and penetrate the snow and sea ice. However, […]

The goal of the research project is to enhance ATB’s fraud detection by incorporating new graph based features. Initially, the project will be focused on figuring out how to use ATB’s data to build graph features. Once the data is processed, these additional graph variables will be used to improve the existing fraud detection machine […]

Micro and minigrids supplied by solar and wind power are an important solution to remote access to electricity. This project is a feasibility study investigating adding a flow battolyser into a microgrid system. When installed in a micro/ minigrid, the flow battolyser supplies metered electricity and hydrogen gas to homes, small businesses, and community buildings […]

This project aims to develop advanced power sources that can convert indoor light into electricity to operate electronic sensors for the Internet of things. The proposed new technology is termed “indoor photovoltaics”. The aim is to create flexible, lightweight, semi-transparent devices of different colours at a minimal cost. Using new chemistry principles, photoactive material design, […]
